On my son’s pc with opensuse 13.1 and kde 4.11.5 when he insert an SD card (used in a camera and formatted FAT32) it is mounted in /var/run/media/username/SDcardname when rightclick on a file the cut option is greyed and doesnt works.
The same SDcard inserted on my pc with opensuse 13.1 and kde 4.14.1 the cut option works.
-the card isn’t locked
-the card is mounted in the same path
-the SDcard has been formatted with windows and it happens again
How can I get the SDcard mounted with the working cut option in my son’s pc???
Maybe it is be mounted read only. Sounds like it. do a mount command and see what is what
yes could be, but in the other pc it isn’t, so I would like to know where this setting could be found in order to modify the behaviour of the pc that mount readonly like the pc that mount read and write.
if I do a mount command (I don’t know how to do it with sdcard… mount /dev/sda /mnt/media… which /dev is my sdcard?) I think sdcard can be mounted read and write but I don’t solve the automatic mount…

He is asking you to find out for sure. Just issue “mount” with no
options in the problematic machine and find out.
Solving will come later, when the problem and cause are found.

User gogalthorp meant for you to exectute
mount
in both systems to compare any differences with the way KDE/udisks2 mounted the media.
For example, I get the following with my camera SD card (openSUSE 13.1, KDE 4.14.1)
/dev/sdb1 on /run/media/dean/CANON_DC type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)
/dev/sdb1 on /var/run/media/dean/CANON_DC type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro)
…:)many thanks and sorry my mistake… I havent both machines in my hand now, as soon I’ll have I’ll post …
hallo again, 
I made the following try:
–I tried with two sd cards to be sure it do not depend on a specific sd card
–the lock notches on both the sd cards are blocked with adhesive tape.
–I tried on two machines, the working one (pla) an the not working one (eros)
–sometimes the not working machine (eros) works…
–working means that the cut option is present in the context menu
–NOT working means that the cut option is greyed in the context menu
this is the mount output on the working machine(pla):
using KODAK sd card the cut option works

I can see that when it works the sd card is mounted with rw option but I don’t know why it happens casually in the not working machine
many thanks for any help…
ciao pier
Where there is the ro option mentioned (instead of rw), you have the problem .
You could check the end of
dmesg
immediatly after the inserting, to see what messages are loged during the mount. It probably will tell you it is mounted read-only because of problems.
This problem mostly arrises when the file ystem is not properly shut down on a windoiwindos system (e/g/ when removed after hibernate instead of shutdown). Using it on a windows system and then either properly shutdown or Remoce Sabely, should repair it.
here is:

many thanks,
It does appear to be a strange issue, but the meesage ‘FAT-fs (mmcblk0p1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.’ could be indicitive of a problem that needs correcting. (I have no idea why the the other machine does not report the same.) Anyway, you could try
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
dosfsck -a -w -v /dev/mmcblk0p1
then re-insert your device and see if gets mounted rw.

There are I/O errors in there, and it recommends running fsck on it.
Do you safely umount before placing the card on the second machine?
